Halfway to Paradise

Halfway to Paradise - Tony Orlando

I want to be your lover

But your friend is all I`ve stayed

I`m only halfway to paradise

So near yet so far away

I long for your lips to kiss my lips

But just when I think they may

You lead me halfway to paradise

So near yet so far away mmm

Being close to you is almost heaven

But seeing you can do just so much

It hurts me so to

Know your heart`s a treasure (treasure)

And that my heart is forbidden to touch so

Put your sweet lips close to my lips

And tell me that`s where they`re gonna stay

Don`t lead me halfway to paradise

Mmm so near yet so far away

Oh uh oh so near yet so far away

Yeah yeah so near yet so far away
